for the love of kawhi please freaking put theis in

expecting brandon boston jr to contribute anything to defense is actual insanity

thank goodness for norm powell

also i was wondering what okc fans were thinking about how weird it must be to have westbrook/paul george back but on the other team

hilariously then just remembered where harden came from, too lol

Can’t match their energy. This is a fresh young OKC team. We tried small ball but that just leaves the paint open

whole team is hot garbage. No one showed up defensively. They look like 8th graders on defense and sloppy. No effort. Harden shooting bricks/turnovers.

This is where a coach chews them out and asks for effort.

Not only that but OKC hasn't played since Monday.

We are bound to lose a game, back to back on the road after a mostly packed December schedule so far. They are rested. Kawhi not playing, Theis not playing.

Need to put Kobe on Chet, and double team Shai.

The NBA schedule makers are trash BTW

No quit in this team, that's for damn sure

normal power carrying us

Mann is scoreless and a team-worst [by far] minus-18.

Keepin it close enough to steal is the plan

nickhx2 · Post #38 » by **nickhx2** » Fri Dec 22, 2023 2:30 am

that move by chet was really slick

at any rate, i'm kinda shocked that harden missed that 3rd step back. he's heating up and now i think this team has a very good chance of pulling it off tonight.

i mean i know kawhi's gone but these guys are looking completely out of it on who's supposed to rotate where, defensively, and it shouldn't be nearly this bad.

man, the b2b is really taking its toll on us right now. two possessions in a row where fresh legs beat tired legs for the offensive board and bucket
